Rory

Young New Zealand man, charismatic, good natured, handsome, easygoing charm. Rory is an ex-pat who has been traveling for the last six years. He’s spent these years taking odd jobs, making new friends, and then moving on to the next country when he’s ready for something new. He finds himself on his last adventure before going home to New Zealand. As the film starts, he meets the main character Tallis, and he views their travels together as another escape. Open to any race or ethnicity.
